The bomb, in the resort of Kuta, destroyed the Sari Club and a crowded
nightspot. Many people have fallen victims to this blast. Many of them were
foreign tourists, especially from Australia. They were burner beyond
recognition. Some tourist who were at the scene of the blast said there were
two explosions around the nightclub. One bomb had exploded outside Paddy’s Bar
before a Bar bomb hit the Sari Club which was located some meters away.
Hundred were injured in the explosion and about 220 Australians remain
unaccounted for. The U.K. Foreign Secretary, Jack Straw, said that 33 Britons
were among those killed in the Bali attack. The Australian Primer Minister,
John Howard, called its borders, saying it had been a problem for a long time.
Lists of missing people have been posted in Bali and official said that it
could take days to identity all the victims, some of whom were trapped in the
Sari Club by a wall of flames. A notice board at the hospital in Bali includes
a section called “Unknown Identity” and detailed list on victims such as :
“Young girl in intensive care, 11-14 years old, face burned, income,
Causation,” or “Girl in intensive care, about 5 years old, 130 cm, fair skin,
Caucasian with reddish brown hair. She has a purplish belly button ring.”
Many embassies, including the British and the American, are advising their
people to cancel spending their planned holidays in Indonesia, and all U.S.
citizens in the country have been told to leave including diplomats and
non-essential government staff.
